Recep Tayyip Erdogan calls for coalition government
Coalition would end unusual silence after legislative polls was a blow to his authority
Ankara: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday called for the formation of a new coalition government as soon as possible, ending almost four days of unusual silence after legislative polls seen as a blow to his authority.
“Everyone should put their egos aside and a government must be formed as soon as possible, within the constitutional process,” Erdogan said in his first public comments since the ruling party he co-founded lost its majority in Sunday’s vote. Erdogan insisted that the election result “certainly does not mean Turkey will remain without a government.”
